Yup...it's a petty statement. For those of you who skim the first sentence and then LOOK at the order of the coins below, here's the trick. The specified order is not quarters, dimes, nickels, pennies. So this is not a problem about using MATLAB to solve a problem...it's about reading the problem statement closely. I made the same mistake several times, largely because I saw the coin order where the coin values are listed and went with what I would consider the "natural" order were I actually programming such a calculation. Setting up the vector /this/ way would be as confusing in real life as it is here, and is contraindicated for good programming standards.

For those who wonder how such low scores are being reported in Cody, it is because many players are changing the actual function call. The result is obvious to those of us who have solved many of these challenges.
